Berretta USA is not FAIR!!!!

This sucks:
Tikka is producing stainless rifles in Camo, Laminate, and Walnut, but in USA they are sold only with black plastic stocks.

Anweis,
            Yeah mate it sucks.  Like I mentioned in the "New Rig" post this is the first time I've had access to something here in Oz that you guy's are after and can't.  As far as I'm aware there are no aftermarket stock options yet either ( other that a full custom job ).

Good luck with your search.
Regards
Craig

I think you need to look around more. The local Scheels has stainless laminate stock models I'm nearly positive. I want to say I saw camo stocks as well but don't remember about the steel in them.

I'll have to agree about the poor selection of Tikkas available in the U.S. I'm not  concerned so much about which stock is offered, rather it's the chamberings available in the varmint models that get me. In Europe, a buyer can get the Varmint, Varmint Stainless, and the Super Varmint, all in 6.5 X 55 SE. I'd buy any of those varmint models in a second if I could get one here in the states. I probably wouldn't even use it for varmint hunting. I just want the varmint contour barrel on a 6.5 x 55 SE without having to re-barrel one of my current rifles or doing a build from scratch with a new receiver.

Well I have to say that I love Tikka rifles. Beretta on the other hand, totally sucks. Their customer service is awful, if they ever get back to you.
